Masks and Mobsters – MonkeyBrain Comics

I get a lot of comics. Seriously I get more stuff than any one person could honestly ever read let alone responsibly review. Even with my friends and colleagues contributing to the site I can’t hope to cover everything that’s out there.

So when I come across something that really grabs me I do my best to get the word out as soon as possible.

Masks and Mobsters is one of those books. Billed as a noir crime anthology, Joshua Williamson writes the hell out of it, giving us a book that’s every bit noir; moody, desperate, and tense. This sixth issue of the series is the first I’ve seen but if they’re all this good I’ll have to get the rest! Working in black and white, Justin Greenwood gives us stark, simple panels that highlight the drama beautifully.

For those unfamiliar with Joshua Williamson his work has graced almost every major publishers books, DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, to name a few. Find out more about Joshua over at his site The Joshua Williamson .com
